It's not an age thing George spoke truth to power for 5 decades and never feared what he held to be true. People like him are sorely missed today I can only imagine what he would be saying about the world today
He would be having a fucking FIELD day with all the shit that's happened since his passing. Like... SO MUCH has happened that he could probably talk for 24 hours straight and still not get through everything. Like... we're all fucked man.
Well you have to disregard the first about 10 years of his career, before the gloves really came off. But oh my - did they ever come off. So let's give old Georgy boy 4 decades of speaking truth to power, with no or little regard to censorship, who got a mouth like a chickens asshole and so forth.
George's material made us think and consider another view point. You are correct in that George was bold, very bold. The world loss a great mind when he passed away.
What a nice young woman it's nice to see young people being into the amazing wisdom of the legend that is George carlin hope you wake up all yer mates young lady.
George was never a push over... Carlin was arrested for disturbing the peace when he performed the "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" at a show at Summerfest in Milwaukee in 1972
Except the bible says things will be like Sodom and Gomorrah, we see that today sexuality is King no matter what you want to have sex with, how's that not perversion?
He was very brave for most of his career. He was talking about words you couldn't say 50 years ago. Actually, he wasn't just talking /about/ them (he made fun of talking about them in his routine), he listed them out directly. A major theme hidden in that routine (and this one, and many others like "soft language") was that many people, and US Americans in particular, foolishly tend to avoid confronting sensitive or difficult issues, and the results are largely to their own detriment.
Hey Erik. Thought I would mention that my son, Vic Shuttee, is a journalist for the Houston Press and he published reviews of the careers of both George Carlin and Bill Hicks, who was a Houston native. Both are easily found on line.
You young lady have selected one of the BEST comedians ever - by far the best! George was very, very smart. He viewed the world differently and with thoughtful reflection. George was the GOAT of comedy. The more you watch and listen to George the more you realize how smart he was. The subjects he came up with were keen. You are on to something with the age comment. As a man well into his 60's this is true.
Just wanted to say that I am impressed by your perspective and comments, given your relatively young age. And you are very well spoken. Not too surprising as you were/are a theater kid, as were both of my children. Few activities better prepare a young person to speak confidently in public. As for George, personally I do not agree with significant parts of George's conclusions but I very much value his insights and courage to give them. Look forward to hearing more from you.
George is basically right.. the whole Moses and 10 commandments story goes back about 5000 years (or 3000 bc). Modern humans however go back about 100,000 years, and the planet about 4.5 billion, and the universe 13 8 billion years. All of which makes that 5000 years seem a little... short.
The 10 Commandments were extracted from the Ma'at's 42 Negative confessions. The only difference is all 42 Negative confessions starts with a word "I" as in "I AM". A 1st person declaring things he/she haven't done. i.e. I have not Stolen, I have not told lies, I have not assaulted anyone, etc. Unlike the 10 that are in a form of Command that opposes its doctrine on Free Will that is suppose to be the basic foundation of Religion. Love & Free Will here is an amusing thing to think about why there are only 10. Cos if it were 42, Moses would be needing a push cart to carry all those Stone Tablets down a mountain.
Yeah Miss, it is an "aging thing" because nobody can cancel you when you have all the money you need without depending on anything or anyone. So you can just speak the truth with the real fkng FREEDOM to do it.
George, along with his ability to show audiences new lenses and make them laugh while doing it, was also one of the first comics to use constant profanity in his performances. He was arrested many times for what he said on stage about religions, governments, society, military use, and his creative cussing
I love George Carlin hes my favorite comedian he speaks the truth always I wish he was still alive id love to hear what he thinks about our government right now
Enjoying your reactions young lady, George is allways funny aye, have you seen any 'Fawlty Towers', or 'Rising Damp', be nice to see your reaction to them, three cheers and thanks to you, see you later
You have to bare in mind that these "rules" were set up thousands of years ago when the world was a different place. Ie. "Do not commit adultery". There were no condoms or medicines to deal with STDs so from a health point of view sleeping around was a bad idea. However this rule still stands not only on moral grounds but because both men and women rely on each other for support especially when children are involved, and if someone cheats on their partner they may feel that they would rather be with the other person. At the end of the day, cooperation benefits everybody, common sense should be the ruling factor in all matters. I've just turned 60 & I'm tired of tip toeing around people. I don't like upsetting people but some of them just need to be slapped in the face with basic facts. ✌❤🇬🇧
Most of the Hebrew Bible (what Christians call the Old Testament) was written during the Babylonian captivity about 600 BC. The antiquity of the document is often greatly exaggerated. It doesn't go back 5000 years. Not even close. Egyptian religion does though.
@@scambammer6102 I agree. We are finding out more about ancient times every day. They just realised that the pyramids were there long before what we would consider the Egyptians and way before the pharaohs. It's now believed that there was technology way beyond our understanding which can explain the similarities between all religions from all over the world. I tend to keep an open mind on such matters and don't believe in guesses, just proof. ✌❤🇬🇧
Your reasoning is flawed from the start to just presume that monogamy is a natural state for humans. You are imposing your modern biases on biological and physiological matters based on arbitrarily man-made morality. I'm not saying it's not beneficial, but it's a mistake to think it's innate.
LOL oh babe, it definitely didn't come with age. He was not giving a f*ck way back when HBO specials were a rarity. You should check his "7 words you can't say on TV" bit.
@@NickPR87 in the early days of HBO, they were so desperate for content, they gave comedians all sorts of freedom. He would never have been forced to change his act for the network.
To be honest, clear, specific rules are more about being able to serve justice. Loop holes just allow people to get around consequences. At the end of the day, people are going to do what they want to do regardless of rules.
If you think your morals should come from a Bronze Age book, written by semi-illiterate goat herders, and not from yourself as a human being, you have a serious problem.
I always looked at it like a road trip. Moses was “wandering the desert” with uneducated people complaining for how many years before the Commandments were revealed? I picture Moses on the mountain chiseling saying “And another thing!…”
And the reason for ten commandments, top ten and the decimal system -- and it's surprising George didn't mention it -- is because we have ten fingers. If we had seven fingers we'd be counting in Base Seven.
It *is* true that when you’re older and more established you feel free to say what’s in your mind, but young people with nothing to lose also have that freedom. Question is whether you feel strongly enough to want to change things.
Plus us older people, like me, have lived longer and seen and experienced more, contributes to us not staying what we think about things, whether people like it or not.
Honestly, I don't think it's an age thing. I think it's all about how much you care about the truth and how smart you are. Age came into play when it came to how worried he was about what would happen to the world soon, where he determined that he wouldn't be alive to see it so he didn't care.
This is not meant to be rude but "spesic(k)if" sounds like a very interesting word. Nice reaction and very good thoughts! You just good a new subscriber! 👍
Don't you find it strange that one has to be brave in order to tell the truth. That's what happens I guess when you live in a world consumed with lies and deceit.
We currently live in the "Age of Beliefs"... my brother coined this phrase when we were chatting one evening a few years back. Basically, the "Age of Beliefs" is where objective facts are (actual reality is) meaningless, it is all about what you believe and that is their "reality". It is plainly obvious pretty much everywhere in the US anymore and this is gaslighting of a massive scale and quite insidious.
@@brianslattery762 "Age of Beliefs", what an interesting way to describe it. It is very fitting and very accurate. We Outside of the US see exactly that and can only scratch our heads and think WTF? The Us is not alone when it comes to this but it is a bit surprising to see it so prevalent in America. Willful ignorance can be a dangerous thing and has destroyed many an empire. History has been a witness to that many many times. The biggest threat to America these days is America itself with willful ignorance leading the way. It truly is insidious . Here's looking at a better tomorrow where rational, skeptical and critical thinking rules the day. Cheers!
George was outspoken as a younger man too. He and I are a lot alike. I am not intentionally hurtful towards anyone, but I will say what is on my mind. If anyone does not like what I have to say, then they should not speak with me. George was talking about many topics that made some people uncomfortable, but George made many people stop and think and he may have changed some peoples viewpoints.
Speaking of older generations saying whatever they think, there's no finer example than "The Golden Girls". I think you'd appreciate the humour. It's one of the best comedy shows ever. You won't be disappointed.
The number that George said, was way, way more accurate than "the birth of the universe". Just since the Earth has been around, the amount of time between Jesus's birth and present day, could've passed roughly 2,225,519 times, give or take.
Constantinople in 300 a.d. pretty much refined and editted the bible in his image and in his message. This was after dozens of revisions and edits from decades and decades of oral traditions (telephone game). Many Kings and popes have revised the bibles since then, and now we have thousands of Christian denominations because nobody agrees anymore since it is a document created by men.
Peter Joseph's an author and a video producer who actually is very carlinesque if you enjoy George you'd probably enjoy some of the stuff that PJ does which is not comedy.
An example of using "God's word" to control is certain religious prohibitions against eating meat, which before refrigeration COULD actually kill you. So the argument could be made the whole rule is to keep believers alive (and subsequently converting or birthing more believers).
Honestly, it's not a brave thing to say. A get the feeling young people have had the unforetunate luck of being brought up in a time where people are offended by facts and honesty sometimes. A couple of decades a go, that was normal
Here's another one , In Ramese's Egypt, they didn't have a written language yet ? everything was hyrogliphs , but the jews had a complete alphabet ? really ? the smart ones were the slaves ?
The original bible was writen around 300 A.D. but Abraham goes back to Babylon around 3500 years ago that's where the story's came from, babylon used to be mesopatamia the first society were polythistic and Abraham came up with the story of the real god and those story's got way put of control and are now the bible
Moses supposedly lived around the 13th century BC so about 3.5 thousand years ago but the ten commandments may be a few centuries older either way you are looking at between 3 and 4 thousand years ago so he is a little out but its in the same ballpark. Other interesting figures for context, the universe is 13.4 billion years old, the Earth 4 billion years old, modern homosapiens around 250 thousand years old, complex civilization is around 10 thousand years old, the religion of Christianity is about 2 thousand years old and the country of England is just over a thousand years old.
Interestingly enough, Moses' origin story bears striking resemblance to the origin tale of Sargon of Akkad (aka Sargon the Great) who founded the Akkadian Empire. Here is an excerpt from Sargon's tale: "My high priestess mother conceived me, in secret she bore me. She set me in a basket of rushes, with bitumen she sealed my lid. She cast me into the river which rose over me. The river bore me up and carried me to Akki, the drawer of water. Akki, the drawer of water, took me as his son and reared me. Akki, the drawer of water, appointed me as his gardener. While I was a gardener, Ishtar granted me her love, and for four and ... years I exercised kingship." An origin story where the main protagonist is sent down a river in a basket as an infant? Now where have we heard that before?
The fact of the matter is, nobody really knows when Moses was around, or what his actual name was. Since there was no written mention of him until around 800BC, many hundreds of years after he was said to exist, who's to say what the real story was. And George was spot on when he said the list was meant to control people. Some people have always been smart, and could certainly come up with a strategy to control people without killing them. Especially if you can convince them there's some invisible entity that will bring the hammer down on them if they step out of line. Even if I don't see you doing wrong, God does, and he's going to get you!
The ten commandments are actually spell 125 out of the book of the Dead from Egyptian religion. look it up. and Moses would have been well taught in Egyptian religion he narrowed it down to 10. And it is bullshit because God doesn't need a messenger nor does he write books.
5,000 years ago is a bit of a stretch -- Judaism dates back about 3,000 years (and a bit), and evolved quite a bit over the time the Old Testament was written...
Trust and believe, the universe is much, much older than humanity. Humanity is much, much older than religion. Every single religion that ever existed was basically a compilation of greatly embellished tales.

Someone once said of Carlin that young people came for the profanity, and stayed for the ideas.
Greetings from Germany and keep on listening to the intelligent People , R.I.P George Carlin
What a nice young woman it's nice to see young people being into the amazing wisdom of the legend that is George carlin hope you wake up all yer mates young lady.

Welcome to the wonderful world of George Carlin! Man was ahead of his time
Except the bible says things will be like Sodom and Gomorrah, we see that today sexuality is King no matter what you want to have sex with, how's that not perversion?

A couple George Carlin videos I’d like you to react to are List of People who oughta be Killed. And also a bit where he talks about Our Similarities
Hope you’re having a amazing day
The age thing is the time at which he performed
Honestly, it's not a brave thing to say. A get the feeling young people have had the unforetunate luck of being brought up in a time where people are offended by facts and honesty sometimes. A couple of decades a go, that was normal
He had been arrested for the things he said.
He does say unfaithful / faithful which would mean you would have to have faith, which is what religion is.
faithful can also just mean being loyal
They sure do have faith in the 10% of paypackets . Religion is a business , always has been .

Funny thing from the good catholic school boy
You are very pretty
Are u going to any football games during the womens euro?
You can think of commandments as a first edition of the constitution for primitive people written by church
what he said is true
He's talking about Judaism which is around 3500 years old. It definitely doesn't go back to the beginning of the universe .. lol.
Catholicism is not even 2000 years old, maybe you meant monotheism
The Ten Commandments was Judaism not Catholicism
There I fixed it. The whole point of even commenting was because it sounded ridiculous to say it was as old as the beginning of the universe
Moses supposedly lived around the 13th century BC so about 3.5 thousand years ago but the ten commandments may be a few centuries older either way you are looking at between 3 and 4 thousand years ago so he is a little out but its in the same ballpark. Other interesting figures for context, the universe is 13.4 billion years old, the Earth 4 billion years old, modern homosapiens around 250 thousand years old, complex civilization is around 10 thousand years old, the religion of Christianity is about 2 thousand years old and the country of England is just over a thousand years old.

"My high priestess mother conceived me, in secret she bore me. She set me in a basket of rushes, with bitumen she sealed my lid. She cast me into the river which rose over me. The river bore me up and carried me to Akki, the drawer of water. Akki, the drawer of water, took me as his son and reared me. Akki, the drawer of water, appointed me as his gardener. While I was a gardener, Ishtar granted me her love, and for four and ... years I exercised kingship."
An origin story where the main protagonist is sent down a river in a basket as an infant? Now where have we heard that before?
The fact of the matter is, nobody really knows when Moses was around, or what his actual name was. Since there was no written mention of him until around 800BC, many hundreds of years after he was said to exist, who's to say what the real story was. And George was spot on when he said the list was meant to control people. Some people have always been smart, and could certainly come up with a strategy to control people without killing them. Especially if you can convince them there's some invisible entity that will bring the hammer down on them if they step out of line. Even if I don't see you doing wrong, God does, and he's going to get you!
There's actually around 600 commandments.
Not only was it on high mountain when nobody was around.. it was a talking, burning bush.. sounds like a crack head to me..
The ten commandments are actually spell 125 out of the book of the Dead from Egyptian religion. look it up. and Moses would have been well taught in Egyptian religion he narrowed it down to 10. And it is bullshit because God doesn't need a messenger nor does he write books.

He's right, you know?
5,000 years ago is a bit of a stretch -- Judaism dates back about 3,000 years (and a bit), and evolved quite a bit over the time the Old Testament was written...
some how your right why not 9 downing street
you need to watch his piece "Religion is BS"
Trust and believe, the universe is much, much older than humanity. Humanity is much, much older than religion.
Every single religion that ever existed was basically a compilation of greatly embellished tales.
